12 Most Satisfying Villain Deaths In Gaming History

3. Dormin - Shadow Of The Colossus

Cause of Death: Lord Emon uses the Ancient Sword to create a whirlpool which sucks the essence of Dormin, who has taken control of Wander's body in order to run riot, away from Wander. Still, Wander is sucked into the whirlpool and all that remains of both Dormin and Wander is a horned baby, who is found by Mono and presumably adopted. Why It's So Satisfying: Though it's entirely possible that Wander's essence is only temporarily gone, it's a relief to see him done away with at least for now after manipulating Wander throughout the game. In exchange for resurrecting Mono, Dormin asks him at the start of the game to kill the sixteen colossi, which unbeknownst to Wander, is a ruse to reform the intentionally-separated parts of Dormin, which would allow him to leave the Shrine of Worship and cause as much as chaos as he likes. We may have no bearing on Dormin's apparent demise ourselves, but seeing this pervasively malevolent force taken to task is a fitting end for the Machiavellian beast.
